Wedding at the White Raven
Zach & Gabby

OMG… What a picture-perfect fall day it was! The weather couldn’t have been more in our favor, making this wedding an absolute blast to capture. Gabby, our stunning bride, exuded all the Lana Del Ray vibes, and alongside Zach, they brought their incredible style and charisma to the forefront, making every shot feel like a scene from a movie.

This wedding was so much fun to work on, and Gabby was an absolutely stunning bride. She and Zach have such great style and presence that really played well for the camera. They totally felt like movie stars.

Gabby was a previous client of mine who became a friend, and I was so excited to have her ask my hubby and me to document their wedding.

Adventurous Twist to Wedding Photography

I knew Gabby loved horror stories. She has AMAZING tattoos that showcase this love. A couple of years ago, she jokingly asked if I could photoshop Jason from the Friday the 13th movies into her wedding photos. I said, ‘Hell Yeah!’ Something fun and unique? I was totally on board. But I did one better – I invited Jason to the wedding! The wedding party and family had fun pretending to be Jason at different points on the wedding day.

We had also talked about doing a mini styled shoot on her day with smoke bombs and a fun fall setup. I had so much fun planning this and carving some pumpkins. FYI I do offer this as an add-on to all wedding collections.

This wedding was a true embodiment of living life adventurously, where imagination knows no bounds and creativity knows no limits.

Capturing Love, Laughter, and a Hint of Horror

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden hue over the Montana landscape, our adventure continued. It was time to capture the essence of Gabby and Zach’s love story. Amidst the picturesque backdrop of the fall forest, we embarked on a unique journey filled with laughter, love, and just a hint of horror.

With smoke bombs in hand and pumpkins as our props, we ventured deeper into the woods. The atmosphere was electric, and the chemistry between Gabby and Zach was palpable. They embraced the adventurous spirit, proving that love knows no boundaries.

This mini styled shoot was a testament to our ‘Love Life Adventurously’ philosophy. It’s about seizing the moment, embracing the unexpected, and infusing creativity into every frame. We carved memories as vivid as the pumpkins, and the result was a gallery of breathtaking, one-of-a-kind images.

So, here’s to Gabby and Zach, who redefined what a wedding day could be. An ode to love, laughter, and the hint of horror that made their day truly unforgettable.
